It is absolutely no coincidence that this decision is made public on National Sorry Day.
_____
Northern Territory police have confirmed they have declined to charge the two off-duty officers involved in an arrest over the death of 24-year-old Kumanjayi White, a Warlpiri man who lived with cognitive disabilities.
White died on 27 May last year during a confrontation with police in a Coles supermarket. His death sparked nationwide rallies and outrage, with calls for accountability and an independent probe.
The Northern Territory police commissioner, Martin Dole, said the Director of Public Prosecutions and territory police had conducted a fair and thorough investigation over the past 12 months.
“A brief of evidence was submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions for their opinion. Following consideration of all available evidence, including the independent expert report, the DPP formed the view that there was no reasonable prospects of a successful prosecution,” Dole said.
The commissioner acknowledged the ongoing distress, anger and grief of White’s family and the Northern Territory Aboriginal community.
“While the decision not to proceed with charges was made based on the evidence and applicable legal thresholds, we recognise this outcome may be difficult for Kumanjayi White’s family – a man lost his life.”
Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of White’s death.

Angus Taylor says the Welcome to Country is "overused".
You heard it, guys. We need to stop welcoming colonisers, and just tell them to fuck right off.

Israel's parliament has passed legislation making the death penalty by hanging the default punishment for West Bank Palestinians convicted of nationalistic killings.
The bill, long-sought by Israel's far right, was opposed by both Israeli and Palestinian rights groups.

My verto disability officer (who is from London) was asking me how my trip to the UK was, and then she started talking about how "it's changed because ✨the population✨ has changed".
She then went on to talk about how she has friends who live there who told her how some of ✨the new population✨ moved into their village and are changing everything. She complained about how hundreds of years of tradition were being undone by ✨new people✨ moving in and bringing their own traditions with them and how horrid that is.

[edit: I found them. It's @Ceejayevylyn - commission work with them!]
This is the piece of art I commissioned with my birthday money this year!
I'd had the idea of the message you often get in games, "enemies are vulnerable to their opposite elements", with regards to armed resistance, ICE and molotovs... but I have absolutely ZERO artistic skills.
I posted here about it, and was approached by CJ Evelyn who was interested in the idea as well.
Working with them was an absolute breeze! They were helpful and listened to exactly what I wanted, super communicative and absolutely helped me get the idea I wanted out of my aphantasic brain and into a visual artwork.
I'd love to tag them here, but their account got stolen and I can't find the new one - so, CJ.. if you're following me, please reach out so I can tag your account!
This is the watermarked image (I don't want their art stolen, but definitely feel free to repost with watermarks and credit!)
CJ, thank you again.
Everyone else, definitely recommend commissioning revolutionary art and definitely recommend commissioning from CJ.
Also. FUCK ICE and FUCK COPS.

Ok, so the Queensland government has banned the use of the phrase "from the river to the sea".
Is John Farnham finally going to be arrested for the song "Two Strong Hearts"?

Oh look, NSW laws being used to silence the protest against Aboriginal deaths in custody.
Shocked.
_____
Protesters in Sydney have vowed to return for 'Invasion Day' rallies on 26 January after being dispersed at a rally against Indigenous deaths in custody on Sunday.
In the lead-up to the event, demonstrators said they were planning to march in defiance of the NSW government's controversial new protest laws.
However, moments before protesters were set to march from Hyde Park, police told event organiser Paul Silva to ask the crowd to "disperse in a peaceful and orderly manner".
Silva then told the crowd of about 200 people — according to the Australian Associated Press — that he thought it would be "the safest option if we disperse".
"I don't want anyone being attacked and, unfortunately, these laws will allow that," Silva said.
Following the Bondi terror attack, NSW passed new legislation giving the state's police commissioner the power to restrict protests for up to three months after a designated terrorist incident.
Police say they're now negotiating with organisers over the rallies planned for 26 January, Australia Day. A spokesperson has said the NSW Police commissioner has yet to make a decision on whether to renew the ban, which is set to lapse on Tuesday 20 January.

Senior police have taken less than a day to deploy anti-protest powers that were rushed into law after the Bondi Beach terror attack.
NSW Police late on Christmas Eve moved to ban protest rallies from key metropolitan areas in Sydney after legislation was passed earlier the same morning to allow the action following declared terrorist incidents.
Meanwhile, Indigenous groups have raised concerns an extension of the police anti-protest designation could render "invasion day" protests on January 26 unlawful.
Mr Minns said the assemblies could take place, although he drew a distinction between static rallies and marches through the city.

"When it was announced the bill had passed without amendment, the quiet was shattered. Whoops and hollers broke out, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags were unfurled and the Labor, Greens and crossbench MPs who voted for treaty turned to applaud those who had dreamt of it for decades. "

A loaf of bread in Aurukun can be as much as $7-8; a 1.8kg frozen beef roast around $80 and a bag of frozen vegetables $8.
Some fresh produce is double or even triple the price advertised online by major supermarkets; a bunch of broccolini is $6.19 compared to $2 at Woolies; oranges are $7.15 per kg compared to $6.90 for a 3kg bag at Coles.
Aussie staples like Vegemite, Weet-Bix and Bushells Tea bags are approximately 50 per cent more expensive.
High sugar items like soft drink are priced as part of a 'nutrition strategy’; a four pack of premium lemonade is around $25 in Aurukun compared to $7.50 listed online by the major supermarkets.
A 10 x 375ml pack of Coke is around $40, compared to $12-20 online.

The Israelis being called "hostages" and the Palestinians being called "detainees" is propaganda.
The Israelis are being returned to family and supported by state-of-the-art medical technology to reintegrate them into their lives.
The Palestinians are being returned to the wreckage of their homes to dig through rubble and try to find the corpses of their children.
There are at least 11,056 Palestinian hostages, and unknown numbers of dead. But only 2000 are being released.
But everything in the media will be about the 20 Israeli hostages, and 28 Israeli bodies for propaganda sake.
The rebranding of the plaza outside the Yel Aviv Museum of Art as "Hostages Square" is for propaganda sake.
Every step in this "peace" will be a move by Israel to reify the idea that Palestinians are less than human and deserve to be murdered. By talking about the 20 Israeli *hostages*, but ignoring the at least 11,056 Palestinian *detainees*, they are pushing the idea that Israel was humane and Palestine was savage.
When you hear about the Israeli hostages, don't forget people like Saber Masalma—a Palestinian man who has been a hostage of Israel for 24 years.
When you hear Israel complain that Hamas is going back on their promise to return the bodies of dead Israeli hostages, remember that they are having to find those dead bodies in cities that have been bombed to oblivion by Israel.
When you hear Israel talk about Hamas as being brutal and violent, remember Israel instituted the Hannibal Directive and killed their own people.
It's not over until Palestine is free.

"From the river to the sea" doesn't mean we stop at a ceasefire agreement.

🚫no white men comments🚫
'In fact, he argues, Australia’s history makes it acutely vulnerable to precisely that [decent towards fascism].
“You guys are probably next, right? The first domino to go.
“You guys had a White Australia policy until the 1970s. That’s a terrible sign. And you attacked your universities ages ago.”
Stanley cites, as well, Australia’s history of Indigenous displacement, its “performatively vicious” treatment of asylum seekers and the fierce “anti-woke” rhetoric that pierces public discourse.
Stanley points out that fascism often comes cloaked in the language, the institutions and the processes of democracy: an insidiousness that lies in seeking to appear democratic.
“Fascism conceals its anti-democratic nature by representing itself as the general will of the people, where ‘the people’ are the dominant racial or religious group.
“It will say ‘the majority of people want this’, but that’s not the core idea of democracy. The core idea of democracy is not the tyranny of the majority. Democracy is a system based on freedom and equality.”'

Take note of who hasn't said shit about the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people but talk big about "political violence" today.

This is a good article.

“Australia is an institution of racism,” the Camp Sovereignty founder, Krauatungalung elder Robbie Thorpe, told Guardian Australia on Tuesday. “It’s the institutions of this country that have allowed this to manifest. They’re running around saying stop immigration; they’re immigrants themselves.”
Australia has a long history of white nationalism, from the systemic violence inflicted on Indigenous people from the early days of British colonisation, to the White Australia policy and, more recently, its brutal offshore detention regime.

Thomas Sewell has faced court multiple times in the past 3 years, for physical violence as well as breaking Victorian anti Nazi legislation. He's gotten 150 hours community service for beating a Black security guard. A year later he was sentenced for attacking some hikers with a group of his nazi friends, he got 5 weeks (already served while awaiting trial). They know he was friends with Brenton Tarrant (the Christchurch Mosque shooter) and had invited him to join his nazi groups.But, you know.. Lads will be Lads.
